People do say (wrongly) that families are communistic.
Commies don't embrace these definitions anymore, but they did make them and I think they're perfectly fine distinctions to make. They just don't like having been on the wrong side of history (another one of their lines).
Families are not communistic. I think of them as a unit (as most economists do). The family unit is the basic grouping of societies and operate along much the same lines as tribes and other small groups.
